    We drove the Danes out of Ireland over 1000 years ago and there are still shiploads of them off our west coast! Are they heading to Greenland to repel the US invasion?????

    There surely can't be two Harry C. Phibbses? Here is a statement to the Bureau of Military History 1913-21 by at least one Harry C. Phibbs.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Arthur Shields aged 15 in the 1911 census, and Harry Phibbs aged 30.

    Here is an oddity via Trove ... Evidently the 'Irish Players' toured Australia in 1922 (11 years before this photo), and included J. M. Synge's 'The Playboy of the Western World' (1907) with Arthur Shields as the Playboy. Interesting to read the contemporary reviews in the newspapers.
    ... Arthur Shields presents the central role of the play-boy (idler) from West Ireland, with an admirable realisation of the youthful vanity and eloquence of the selfish, lonesome fugitive who wins all the races on the sands, and is adored by the girls. There was a charming scene which owed much to the winsome qualities of the brown-eyed Mair O'Neill, wherein the young poet drew a picture of her after their wedding, "the light o' seven heavens shinin' in her heart" while the girl cooed forth her faith that he was "drawing nearer and nearer to her, like the star o' Gold!" There was no marriage.
